Published:June 2009

Author(s):LiangzhiYou, Mark W.Rosegrant, StanleyWood, DongshengSun

Publisher:Agricultural and Forest Meteorology

This article emphasizes the necessity of including such major influencing factors as physical inputs into the crop yield-climate function in order to have an accurate estimation of climate impact on crop yields.Read More →

Global Scale Climate-Crop Yield Relationships and the Impacts of Recent Warming

Published:March 2007

Author(s):David B. Lobell, Christopher B. Field

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters

This study shows that simple measures of growing season temperatures and precipitation explain variations in global average yields for the world’s six most widely grown crops, and that climate change negatively impacts crop yield. Read More →

The Economic Impacts of Climate Change: Evidence from Agricultural Output and Random Fluctuations in Weather

Published:March 2007

Author(s):Oliver Deschênes, Michael Greenstone

Publisher:The American Economic Review

This paper measures the economic impact of climate change on US agricultural land by estimating the effect of random year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation on agricultural profits.Read More →
